Glamour and Grit
Book & Lyrics by Ariana Johns Music by Darryl Curry
“If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be more intelligent, read them more fairy tales.” - Albert Einstein
In a lush forest filled with magical creatures, 17-year-old Deanna Pearson is about to become enchanted. With a dandelion faerie for a mother and an environmental scientist for a father, Deanna is taken on a colorful journey where she meets a misnamed Troll who lost his family, some dancing cheeky Tikis who live in a Virtual Reality Castle, the formidable centuries-old faerie queen Merlynda, and the diabolical Malix, a non-binary tech-wiz. Told in the form of a fairy tale, 'Glamour and Grit' is a multi-media musical about inviting magic into one's life, balancing modern technology with Nature and Spirit, and finding one's family in whatever form they take. It’s about acceptance, redemption, and saving our Blue Planet. For audiences of pre-teens to adults. |
